Buy me the Filmation sub !! Please

Figures have gotten expensive for me this year... I mean with the Watchmen sub and all. Is there anyone willing to mail me the figures after I pay you for them?? I have decent references and paypal... I can afford the sub figure when I pay my Paypal "Bill me later" bill (which I have to pay on the first of the month anyway) then use that money to pay you. Then we are both protected by Paypal... I will pay $35 per figure/shipped usps ground. I already have just about enough in there to pay for half of the sub already... PM me if you are this awesome individual willing to do this for me.

I have to agree with Bjjer... For the most part, the only way someone is going to break even is to hit $40, probably. $25 for the figure, shipping from Mattel would be at least $2-$3 per figure (at least taking my own costs this month into account, and that doesn't even take into account September with only a Filmation figure for MOTUC fans), then probably another $11 or so for that person to ship the item to you... I have 2 figures I listed for a loss at $35 because I know/think they're hard to get rid of, a lot of my figures listed at the $40 breaking even price, and I wouldn't list the Filmation figures for $35 if I decide to go with more than 1 sub.

Unless there is someone out there who can afford to take a loss, you probably aren't going to get many/any takers.

If you are a Southern California resident a single subscription with tax and shipping will cost you $38.04 per figure each month. Shipping to AZ from CA would cost at least $5.00 which would bring the cost up to $43.04, but add paypal fees of $1.60 and you're at $44.63. Basically, if some sells you one each month for $35 they are taking almost a $10 loss. Now if someone does get multiple subs there cost per figure does come down, but even still they would likely be taking maybe then a $4-6 loss.

Some guys with multiple subs might be willing to do a fellow orger this favor... usps ground is 9.90... that comes out to $34.90. It costs me around $38 after Matty gets me the figures 3 weeks later. Worth it to me to try and find a mutiple subber who saved on shipping to begin with. ...and if they are one of those mail from home types... they could profit... well a couple bucks, anyway. I guess I could go to $40. I see your point.

Where do you live? I'll help you out. I haven't ordered mine yet because I have to wait until the 25th. I can grab an extra sub. With the combined shipping, plus after the second month it will ship with my sub, I think $35 will cover it.

I have 2 guys that pre-bought subs through the Hyve.
I charge $5 over subscription cost per figure plus actual shipping from here in Ohio.
They often wait a few months to ship a bundle and save some bucks that way too.
If you're into a deal like that I can add you to the Hyve pre-sales. Let me know soon as I'll be ordering Filmation subs pretty soon.
